Why Daddy Misbehaved
I went down to the graveyard
just to see my daddy's grave.
I went down to the graveyard
just to see my daddy's grave.
They say it was the whiskey
made my poor daddy misbehave.
Momma used to hollar,
'Don't you go sneakin' out the house.'
Momma used to hollar,
'Don't you go sneakin' out the house.'
But daddy he was quiet, yes
He was quiet as a mouse.
Momma said, 'He's better dead.
You know he never learned to live,
Momma said, 'He's better dead.
You know he never learned to live,
He was just a low-down daddy
getting good at telling fibs'.

Why I Love Dogs
dogs are one of
God's greatest creations
because they love you unconditionally
because they guard you when you're home
and protect your house when
you are out and about
they don't care if you
walk around the house with messy hair
they are just happy you're there
they sense it when you're feeling low
and listen to your every word
even though they can't advise
you what to do about your sorrows
their sweet eyes and wagging tails
let you know they are there
and all they want to do is please you

You Loved Me Sweetly
driving down the highway
in my new GX-350
i'm listening to
a roy orbison cd
and thinking of
you and how
you love me sweetly
wishing i could
turn back time and
be the person
that i was when
you showered me
with a love so strong
you loved me sweetly
when i passed
you on the road
and you waved to me
our eyes met
but only briefly
as you smiled so tenderly
it made me lonesome
for days gone by when, oh
you loved me sweetly

Because Of You
my days of being blue
are over because of you
your love has freed me
and you always seem to
bring out the best in me
your love is so beautiful
it means everything to me
it seems like i had to wait
forever before i found you
but i know your love is true
